Welcome to My WikiSpace


I would like to share with you the top 10 reasons why I am afraid of insects.

Reason:
#1 - They are uggggggly. Even the pretty ones, if you look really close, they look like aliens assuming aliens are scary and ugggly.

Look at those big eyes
and they desparately need
moisturizer.
Need I say more?!?

And this is my nightmare.external image cicada-shell-cosplay_IZKxt_1333.jpgWhy???

#2 - Some of them bite, spit, and scratch.

#3 - They are sneaky. Just because some of them are camouflage, they don’t have to be so jumpy. I almost fell off of a mountain once because the grasshoppers on the mountain in Albuquerque New Mexico turned orange when in flight.

Not sure if it is poisonous but the heart attack will kill me.

Did you know people EAT THEM?!?

fried bugs – I don’t care that they taste like almonds.



I can and do appreciate them from a distance. A meter or 2 is perfect, except for ladybugs. Someone told me they will bite, but I have yet to be bitten by one. When they crawl on you it is like nature giving you butterfly kisses...ladybug kisses. ;-)
